* {{Expy}}: Jack is modelled after pulp heroes like ComicStrip/BuckRogers and ComicStrip/FlashGordon, with a little Franchise/IndianaJones thrown in for good measure.
* GoodIsNotNice: Jack spends a good deal of the film dragging Edward around (occasionally quite literally) and tells him point-blank that if Edward's death meant everyone else would survive, Jack would kill him himself.

!!The Mercurians
The titular Mercury Men, the Mercurians are the film's primary antagonists. According to Jack, the Mercury Men took the Apollo moon landings as a threat, as it was a greater technological achievement than anything the Mercurians (who are millions of years older than humanity) had ever accomplished.
----
* EnergyBeings: The Mercury Men are made of hard light, appearing as little more than glowing silhouettes.
* ExtraEyes: The Mercury engineers' suits have three eyeholes, implying the species naturally has an extra eye.
* HardLight: Despite being comprised of light, the Mercurians are definitely solid.
* HumanoidAliens: They are humanoid in shape, but are taller and thinner than average humans and have a stooped posture (supposedly due to Earth's greater gravity).
* LeanAndMean: The antagonistic Mercury Men are much taller and slimmer than humans.
* LightIsNotGood: They are composed of pure light, but are anything but good.
* Lightworlder: It never becomes relevant to the plot, but Mercury's gravity is about 38% that of Earth's. [[AllThereInTheManual Jack's journal]] notes this is the reason for their hunched posture.
* ShockAndAwe: The Mercurians can shoot lighning from their hand.
* SovietSuperScience: Most of their technology was given to them by the Chief Engineer, who [[AmbiguousSituation may or may not]] have been the former head of the Soviet space program.
